Landscape with Corn Sign (Near Greensboro, Ala.)
1976

A vintage photograph depicting a rural scene with a large ear of corn sculpture standing beside a road. The sculpture is mounted on a white signboard, and there's a utility pole in the foreground. Dense green trees line the road, suggesting a lush, natural setting. The image has a white border, characteristic of old film photographs.
